Case Study: University of Colorado Boulder Housing & Dining Services achieves 10-second RPOs and sub-5-minute RTOs with Zerto

University of Colorado Boulder Housing & Dining Services - Customer Case Study

University of Colorado Boulder Housing & Dining Services provides residential living and learning communities, dining, and conference services for students and staff. Faced with inadequate SRM and array-based replication, a rising threat of ransomware, and the risk that future outages could deny student access to residence halls, the department needed a disaster-recovery solution with granular point-in-time recovery and aggressive SLAs.

They implemented Zerto Virtual Replication (installed in under an hour) to protect critical SQL and PoS systems. Continuous data protection cut RPOs from 30 minutes to 10 seconds and RTOs from 5 hours to under 5 minutes for ten servers; administration and testing became simpler with auditable reports and easy onboarding, and the storage-agnostic approach future-proofs the environment for upcoming infrastructure refreshes.
